Nope, never heard of him. But, I'll keep an ear open. What was the name, Jarred Adams?

He's the only one on the team that starts both ways. After the the first set of downs on defense, he only plays defense on Jasper's side of the field. He has looked just as good as his press clippings. He didn't play much defense last week. Jasper plays Strake Jesuit in Houston Sept.27. They beat Bay City last week and should be a good game.

Thanks for the info. Everything I have read about him says he is about the best ever.

Jorrie is you prototypical tackle at 6'7 and 280lbs. He could easily carry another 25 pounds at the college level and not lose much speed. IMHO he is rough around the edges. He can be awesome at times, but he needs to be more consistent.

Shawn Slocum from A&M was at the game last weekend looking at Jorrie and Red Bryant. Word aroung town is that A&M has been recruiting him heavily. There was a post on this sight or another a week or two ago that A&M was high on Jorrie's list. Whoever gets him will definitely have a diamond in the rough.

I will tell you this, Red Bryant is the most gifted athlete on the Jasper team. He is a man playing among boys. If I were a college recruiter I would be camped out on Red's doorstep until February. I understand that Miami is looking at him big time.

He is a very talented tackle, but after watching him play two games last year, I saw that a quick defender can get around him most of the time. I watched Jasper play Newton and Houston Forest Brook. Houston Forest Brook's defenders were getting by Jorrie on most occassions before he could get in position to block them, but once he did get a hold on them, he had them beat. Before Jasper played Newton last year, they had only allowed 4 sacks, but our end was getting by Jorrie and sacked Mitchell 4 times in the first half alone. Jorrie will be a great tackle once he reaches the collegiate level though.
